ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

The purpose of the present study was to assess the prevalence of normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need in schoolchildren and adolescents, related risk factors, and children/parent's aesthetic perception, compared to orthodontist's opinion, in Dhaka city, Bangladesh.

Methods:

A random sample of 800 schoolchildren aging 11-15 years was selected from different schools in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Dental Health Component (DHC) and Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) were assessed as normative treatment need. The Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index was used to record caries experience. Children were interviewed on the perception of orthodontic treatment need. Parents also completed a questionnaire on the perception of their child's orthodontic treatment need, assessed by AC/ IOTN.

Results:

According to the DHC/IOTN, only 24.7% were in the category of definite need (grade 4-5) for orthodontic treatment. A significant difference was found between the clinician/children and clinician/parents perceived AC score of IOTN (p= 0.0001). Multiple logistic regression showed children with a higher DMFT were significantly more likely to need orthodontic treatment, according to the DHC of IOTN.

Conclusion:

A low proportion of schoolchildren needs normative orthodontic treatment in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Children with a higher DMFT score were significantly more likely to need orthodontic treatment, according to the DHC of IOTN.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de necessidade real e percebida de tratamento ortodôntico em crianças e adolescentes em idade escolar, bem como de fatores de risco relacionados, e comparar a percepção estética das crianças e responsáveis com a percepção de ortodontistas na cidade de Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Métodos:

uma amostra aleatória composta por 800 crianças, com idades entre 11 e 15 anos, foi selecionada em diferentes escolas da cidade de Dhaka, Bangladesh. Para avaliação da necessidade real de tratamento, utilizou-se o Dental Health Component (DHC) e o Aesthetic Component (AC) do Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). O índice de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados (CPO-D) foi usado para registrar a prevalência de cáries dentárias. As crianças foram entrevistadas sobre sua percepção da necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico, e os pais também responderam a um questionário sobre a percepção da necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico de seus filhos, avaliada pelo AC do IOTN.

Resultados:

de acordo com o DHC, apenas 24,7% das crianças foram alocadas na categoria de necessidade real (notas 4-5) de tratamento ortodôntico. As pontuações no AC foram significativamente diferentes entre os ortodontistas, as crianças e os responsáveis (p= 0,0001). A análise da regressão múltipla mostrou que as crianças com maiores pontuações no CPO-D tinham chance significativamente maior de precisar de tratamento ortodôntico, segundo o DHC.

Conclusão:

um número reduzido de crianças em idade escolar necessita realmente de tratamento ortodôntico em Dakha, Bangladesh. Além disso, as crianças com maior CPO-D apresentaram chance significativamente maior de precisar de tratamento ortodôntico, segundo o DHC.
